Reforest Teak

Reforest Teak is an exceptional line of furniture made from top quality teak with excellent joinery and hardware. Its gentle curves and hand finishing offer unprecedented comfort and beauty. The teak comes from forests that are rebuilding, not destroying, the fragile ecosystems.

Quality

Most teak is made with Class C wood which contains holes, cracks and/or imperfections that are filled with putty and stained. Some of the furniture is actually built with a veneer over lesser wood. This grade will look good to start, it will quickly age, crack, loose joints and have a rough surface.
Reforest Teak uses only solid teak, the finest available, and free of holes, knots and other defects. After harvesting, the teak products are carefully kiln-dried, which assures exceptional stability and resistance to warping.

Body-Friendly

Teak furniture makes a powerful statement in your garden, but it should also be comfortable. Reforest Teak is designed and crafted for comfort that straight milled furniture cannot do. This teak furniture has subtle details that form to the body's natural shape. The backs of the furniture are curved instead of straight, the seats are gently cupped and won't bite or pinch your thighs, the armrests follow a natural curve and the corners are sanded to gentle roundness.

Quality Joinery and Finish

Furniture has sturdy, mortise-and-tendon joints.

Excellent local craftsmen construction. All hardware is first quality, never-rust stainless steel.

Reforest Teak is made of thick, structural members.

Some furniture pieces arrive in panels, assembly ready. When it is best to ship fully assembled that is the exact way you will receive it.

It is hand sanded and individually inspected for a smooth finish. Not only is it pleasing to the touch but the wood's pores are sealed which extends the life of your furniture.

Reforest Teak Furniture Care

Reforst Teak furniture does not need anything on it to make it last. Some teak furniture manufacturers suggest using a wax or oil finish to extend its life, but Reforest Teak is made from very dense heartwood that oil won't pentrate easily. It would probably pool up leaving a sticky residue. Over time your furniture will take on a silver-gray color without doing any work to it, this is natural and doesn't shorten its life. If you prefer the teak's golden tone, use an environmentally friendly sealer and cover your furniture during winter months.

To clean your Reforest Teak furniture, use a mild cleaner like Simple Green to two parts water. Wash using a medium bristle brush and air dry.
